New "Explorer" face is exclusive to Series 3

Just to answer the question I've already seen elsewhere and wondered myself, here's the definitive info from the press release:

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) also debuts a special red Digital Crown and exclusive “Explorer” watch face that shows cellular connectivity through a unique design.

So existing Watch owners won't be getting that nice new face, unfortunately!

Edit: Yes, that means it's only on the LTE version of Series 3.

not just exclusive to series 3-- but only to series 3 LTE?

I figured this would happen. Similar to how Hermes has their own Watch face. But it's negated for me, because I'm not upgrading to the cellular model.
